just wondering if anyone knows any details about the ALLSET GTR that was around in 2004.

i have recently bought it and am trying to find out as much about it as possible.

would like to know what ecu it ran, as it now runs a ems 8860 but dosent seem to be making the power that it used to.

it now makes 360kwatw.

i would like to get it back up around 400.

was thinking autronic or vipec, but from what i can work out it used to run a link.

cheers

ECU wont really effect top end power. difference between a good ECU and a cheap nugget is in the drivability of the car. if its making less power then its been wound back.

from what i've read the 8860 is actually a very good computer, but ems is ofen overlooked for other more common brand names

i know plenty of it, i tuned it to over 400kw at all fours on the dyno, what would you like to know.

Its a very very nice car plenty spent

excellent mate,

if you know, i would like to know the specs of the engine, what was used, bottem end and top end.

and the ecu that was used.

was the 400 kw on pump fuel? just trying to figure out why its not making that power anymore. It recently made 360kwatw on 21 psi. and thats the lowest boost setting.

and why the ecu was changed?

it has a missfire, and when i had it tuned the tuner told me it could be the ecu wiring causing the problem.( sounds like he was trying to sell me a new one) any ideas ????

so dunno what to do, maybe try another workshop and see if they can find the problem.

but yeah, awsome car absolutley stoked with it!!!!!!!

excellent mate,

if you know, i would like to know the specs of the engine, what was used, bottem end and top end.

the engine was built by advan in silver water, as far as i know it is a full motor except rods,

trust everything, pistons, cams, gears, pumps the lot, the cams im sure were 272

the head was ported and modified to suite the cams, im sure the springs were changed as well

as said BIG dollars spent

and the ecu that was used.

originally link, i had it removed in favor for ems, more load points rpm and boost levels were able to be acheived,

had minor cold start issues but i think we resolved it

was the 400 kw on pump fuel? just trying to figure out why its not making that power anymore. It recently made 360kwatw on 21 psi. and thats the lowest boost setting.

i think it was 410kw at all fours on 30psi, a couple runs were done, the engine was very srtong but i didnt want to keep pushing on those levels with no rods

and why the ecu was changed?

i didnt like the tuning, low boost levels and low rpm, also i think it had an issu just before we replaced it

it has a missfire, and when i had it tuned the tuner told me it could be the ecu wiring causing the problem.( sounds like he was trying to sell me a new one) any ideas ????

the ecu wiring was done very well ( i didnt do it) but had no issues with it, it didnt backfire with me at all, and pulled dadi like a chariot was osume

so dunno what to do, maybe try another workshop and see if they can find the problem.

but yeah, awsome car absolutley stoked with it!!!!!!!

who has been playing with it, maybe just needs a good tune

murcury motorsports in brisbane recently tuned it.

they didnt want to go past 21 psi unless it was running race fuel, said it would detonate.

so your saying it has standard rods??

seems silly to rebuild a motor and not do the rods!!

cheers for the help mate

yeah i agree with the rods but the owner was misguided in the engine build

(in my opinion) i would have thrown rods at it, he later regreted it.

who did you buy it from, the car who built it ? i dont think it needs race fuel

i like to run them on whats easily available and go from there

bought it from a bloke in sydney, he didnt drive it much at all, i think he said he drove it about 5 times the whole time he owned it (2years).

and he bought it from the guy who paid to have it built, which was done by ADVAN performance in silverwater.

yeah i run it on 98 but the guys were pretty adammint that it would need race fuel for higher boost.

still trying to sort out the missfire issue though.

only getting about 250km from a set of plugs, and when i replace them they are usually all different colours??

    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true
